It was official: Nico and Will were dating. Kissing in public, Nico flirting with Will in Italian, it was the whole shebang. On a normal evening, Nico and Will would be cuddling in the Hades Cabin.
But today was not a normal evening.
The Athena Cabin had made allies with the Hades Cabin for tonight's game of capture the flag, and they were playing against the Apollo Cabin.
As Nico strapped on his armor, Will snuck up behind him and whispered seductively in his ear, "Don't a get a kiss before we kick your sorry asses?"
Nico snorted. "You wish, Solace."
Will playfully punched Nico's arm. "That's not what you're gonna be saying once I've got your flag in my hands."
Soon, the game started. Will raced as fast as he could in his armor. Their strategy was for Percy to annoy the crap out of the Ares Cabin, one of Athena's allies for the night. If all went according to plan, they'd have the flag before Clarisse could pulverize Percy.
Soon, Will saw it. The enemy's flag on a hilltop, waving in the wind. No one was guarding it! Will couldn't believe his luck. He ran towards the hill.
And Nico landed on top of him, wrestling him to the ground.
Will wriggled, trying to free himself from Nico's unbelievably tight grip. "Let me go, Nico! I have to get the flag!"
"No!" Nico exclaimed, wrestling Will onto the floor. "Victory shall be ours!"
They went on like that for a while, just rolling on the floor and wrestling, trying to escape each other's grip. They might've gone on for hours until they heard Percy shout with joy, "I GOT IT! I got the flag! Take that, Clarisse!" Will and Nico hastily got up and saw Percy happily holding the flag above his head. He must've saw Will and Nico on the floor, because he said, "And Nico and Will were basically humping each other the whole time!"
